Line
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10	We all know stories about people with exceptional memories who have the possibility to remember hundreds of numbers after hearing them only once. Now experts are saying that such feats can be taught. For example, almost people can repeat about nine numbers if they are read out slowly. In one experiment, ten hours’ training produced only a small improvement, but the result after practicing for a thousand hours was amazing: some people remembered 80 or even 100 numbers. Similarly, a number of adults can identify only about five out a set of 21 colours that are only slightly different. But after 80 training hours one person could recognize 18 of theirs. Studies of 76 major composers show that it took at least ten years of musical training before any of theirs wrote a major work. Psychologists are therefore rising the possibility that genius is the production of teaching.
